Pinfold

In 1996, the Cumbria County Council commissioned Andy Goldsworthy to create a sculpture project called 'Sheepfolds' as part of the UK Year of Visual Arts.

Goldsworthy's original inspiration for the cone shaped cairns was the Nine Standards on the horizon above Kirkby Stephen.

Millennium stone

The plaque reads:

The stone was extracted from our quarry atPlumpton, near Lazonby, in 1996. It is theRemnant of a wind sculpted pillar of sandstonearound 250 million years ago and it is exactly as itcame out of the ground. As a mark for theMillennium it perhaps puts time in perspective.
